Tideace NEW Gravel Frame: GR201

[SEDK]

@patliean1

Can you elaborate further on your body measurements (inseam and height) in conjunction with and sizing of the frame, saddle height and cockpit setup.
I'm hesitant on either a 54 or 56 on this frame, and usually ride a ~56 on road/gravel with a saddle height of ~77-78cm

Care to share your thoughts?

I have roughly the same measurements as you and also spent quite some time considering if it should be a 54 or 56. At the end I chose 56.
Slamming the stem and running with a 90 or 100mm stem will give me roughly the same stack as on my road bike (Scott Foil) while having ~30mm shorter reach to add some comfort.

Br,

@ Jouke Bosma 

Very nice. Love the colour matched storage cover.

Anyone running a double front with P505 powermeter? Wondering if it fits and works like intended. Still haven't decided what powermeter I want for my bike.

Is the 435 chainstay measurement on this frame accurate? Some photos I see the wheel looks very "tucked" and others the gap looks huge! Obviously tire size plays a part there.

This is my only reservation, having never ridden a bike longer than 425 I'm pretty sure I would notice the extra length.

[Uberflo]

Yes, it's 435. I measured it for the XPLR chainlength.

My Tideace frame is on its way.

No bolts in fork

Lexon Unox Gravel Cockpit and Wheelset (Nextie SGX with DT240 Hubs) is ordered. Hope it does not take too long (I was told 5-7 weeks).

Has anyone self painted this frame? If so did you paint the storage cover as well? Assume the cover is plastic?

Thinking of doing this myself and from the frames I've seen here those with the matching cover do look good.

Why would you do it yourself? The paintjob of Tideace is good. And you pay around €150,-

I can't do it myself for that money

I'm doing a custom paintjob here locally, cost 600-800euro...

[Uberflo]

What Jouke Bosma says ... I have now received the second frame (road bike) and the paint job is excellent. There are western bike brands with lower paint quality.

Yeah I could pay the extra for it to be done professionally, but I'd like to do it myself as part of a long term project. I've done a couple of old frames and it's something I'm interested in doing.

It might not be as good a job as what they'd do, but it'll be my own work which is cool, to me anyway. Others might disagree

Listing on Tantans website says 1-1/2" 52MM x 2 for the headset but no mention of the fork. When I asked I was told this was also 1 1/2". Can anyone confirm this? If so, can someone recommend me a nice stem (integrated or semi integrated)? Was planning on going with a Deda Vinci and my own handlebars.

[Uberflo]

Both 52x40x7, 45x45 - no crown race needed (integrated)

I would suggest a DCR Superbox as you plan to use a Deda Bar. You just need the c ring: https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/de/deda-kompressionsring-fur-dcr-system/138244301/p?srsltid=AfmBOopIZXGT-u7D2k-0OMeY5cQ_thyeEufLTwOtE90FNPyjLvG7m4O_

Thanks! Ok, so that means the steerer tube is 1 1/4"?

[Uberflo]

No, 1,5" to 1 1/8". See the Deda Specs here: https://dedaelementi.com/media/wysiwyg/dcr-tech/DCR_D-SHAPE_Fork_Technology_v1.pdf
